Transparency Market Research Reports included a detailed market survey and analysis trends on “Flexitanks Market”. This report also includes more info about basic overview of the industry including definitions, applications and global market industry structure.

On the other hand, the major constraint faced with flexitanks during transportation is when fully laden. The weight of the 24,000 liter bag causes the side wall of the box container to distort outwards beyond the ISO container. The side wall is designed to...
